5) Safety Protocols: written and mandatory
An agency that takes safety seriously doesn’t just talk about it—it has written procedures in place. According to the minimum GGD standards, a business plan with safety protocols is mandatory. This document should include:
-
Safe-sex guidelines (always with condoms, proper products, and hygiene).
-
Client etiquette (how clients are expected to behave).
-
Rules for companions (working conditions, rights, and responsibilities).
-
Safety procedures (check-in/out, code words, emergency numbers, location sharing).
As a companion, you have the right to review this plan. Ask for it during your intake—you should always be able to see, in writing, what safety measures are enforced.
6) Guidance & training: preparation is not a luxury, but a necessity
Too many agencies let women start working without any training or preparation. They make big promises, but rarely deliver. The result: you are thrown into situations where you needed support the most.
A professional agency does things differently. Before your first booking, you receive extensive onboarding: etiquette, communication, safety, styling, and boundary-setting training. You learn with sample scripts how to assert your boundaries clearly and respond professionally in difficult situations.
There is also hands-on support during your first bookings and follow-up care after intensive dates. Agencies that genuinely care about their companions also schedule evaluation meetings. Your contact person acts as a confidante—someone you can turn to with uncertainties, questions, or for extra support. That way, you’ll never have to face challenges alone.
7) Woman-friendly & respectful culture: respect above all
A respectful agency treats its companions with dignity. That means no vulgar language, no degrading photos, and no tasteless marketing that reduces you to an object. Communication is professional, stylish, and respectful.
Unfortunately, in agencies where men run the business, these subtle but important details are sometimes overlooked. That’s why many women feel more comfortable working with an agency led by a woman—someone who understands them, shares their perspective, and is truly there for them.
